be some of the subjects seen and
studied. t
The tour is another sponsored
by the Wachovia Bank and Trust
Company in cooperation with
Clemson College. The object of
the tour is to help farmers in
this state to keep abreast of de
velopments elsewhere.

“Chemical weed control for my
cotton crop cost me two dollars
an acre this year. Hoeing would
have cost twenty dollars.”
J. Quay Farmer, of the Pis-
g a h community in Florence
County, gave me that appraisal
of pre-emergence chemical weed
control this spring. I noted that
he had some of the prettiest and
cleanest cotton I’d seen any
where.

Clemson Extension Information
Specialist
Is home really a haven?
In many ways it is, I’m sure.
But the home is also filled with
potential booby-traps that lay in
wait for the innocent und unwary.
Mrs. Elbe Herrick. Clemson
extension specialist, conducts a
state-wide safety program to
point out some of the dangers
lurking aroUnd man’s kingdom—
his own home.
“Last year in the United
States,” Mrs. Herrick says,
“more than a million children
were killed or seriously injured
by accidents. Accidents in the
home kill more children than
any single disease. In fact, acci
dents kill more children in the
1-14 age group than the six most
important diseases combined!
"That doesn't mean (hat you
shouldn't continue to watch out
for and guard against infectious
diseases such as measles, scarlet
fever, and typhoid. We should.
But it is time for us to recognize
where the greatest danger lies.”
Young children, born with an
insatiable desire to learn and ex
periment, fall prey to poisons,
burns, and falls. While infectious
diesases are on the decrease, the
toll from home mishaps shows an
alarming increase.
We simply should do something
about it, Mrs. Herrick thinks. In
the first place’ it’s bad business
to leave children unattended in
the house while hanging out the
clothes or having a cup of tea
next door. Yet, a constant watch
over your children is not the
whole answer.
"The home can be made a safer
place by developing a safety
conscious attitude. A bottle of as
pirin left carelessly within reach
of children can be a death potion.
Kerosene poured into a pop bottle,
and left within reach of children,
household cleaners left under the
sink, or a pot handle portrud-
ing over the stove are other po
tential booby traps.
“If we remember that poisons,
burns, falls, and cuts are respon
sible for most of the serious mis
haps and then make safe or re
move those hazards we will have
come a long way in preventing
accidents.”
The grim statistics on child ac
cidents point out one of the prob
lems of today’s parents. How do
we achieve a balance between
permitting children to exercise
initiative on one hand, and keep
ing them safe until they are able
to make wise judgments on the
other?
“Early training in safety is
important. When a young child is
taught to use a tool or do a job—
it is necessary to point out the
hazards and to clearly demon
strate the correct way.
“If children demonstrate ability
to exercise good judgment—we
can more safely ‘loosen the reins’
and allow them more privileges
We cannot measure this point in
the child’s life by his age alone.
Children are too variable for that.
“In the final analysis, wise
parental guidance and supervis
ion is the best insurance against
accidents in the home.”
...
This year's small grain har
vest is well underway through
out the state.
I don't have reports from the
entire state, but in Newberry
I County this week County Agent
| A. F. Busby told me of “one of
the best crops we’ve ever har
vested here.
We stopped by to see C. M.
Satterwhite of the Bush River
community. Mr. Satterwhite’s
combine was still busy, but he
took time to give us an estimate
on his yields.
“We have 250 acres of Mor-
grain oats. We’re now harvesting
100 bushels an acre. The seed for
this crop is two years from the
breeder.”
Mr. Satterwhite used the grain
“patch” method of multiplying
his seed. It is one of the cheaper
methods of obtaining a large
supply of good seed for planting
large acreages. By this method,
the grower buys a few bushels of
certified seed of a recommended
variety from the breeder. He
plants these on a “seed patch” on
which he produces enough seed
to plant the entire crop the fol
lowing year.
There seems to be a growing in
terest in barlejr production. Mr.
Satterwhite had already harvest
ed 4,300 bushels from his 65 acres
of Colonial 2 variety.

My four-year-old son, who likes
to eat, was excited about my trip
to Newberry this week.
“Mama,” he said, “will Papa
bring back some new-berries?
...
This week a group of South
Carolinians, led by Governor
Ernest Hollings and Clenuon’s
R. C. Edwards, are looking at
agriculture on the other side of
the continent.
The golden state of California,
long in the forefront of agricul
tural progress, will be under the
scrutiny of agricultural leaders
from this state.
